DO THEY KNOW IT'S HALLOWE'EN? Sign in or register

 
Once a year on a spooky night
It's Hallowe'en and what a fright
Once a year on a spooky night
It's Hallowe'en and what a fright

Young boys and ghouls
In ghoulish disguise
They cover their skin
Conceal their eyes

A grave mistake to be out
When the ghosts are about
It's Hallowe'en
Our time to be afraid

In the rest of the year
They don't observe
This bash which has become
Our biggest concern

Latvia, Laos
Chad, Peru
We need their help
Or else we're through

They don't know the fear
We endure once a year
All Hallow's Eve
We are afraid

Do they know it's Hallowe'en tonight
Do they know it's Hallowe'en tonight
Do they know
Do they know
Do they know
It's Hallowe'en
Do they know it's Hallowe'en
Hallowe'en tonight

Hello?
Hello?
Guys?
Hello?
Come on man
Alright it's not funny any more
Come on out
Hello!
Alright ha ha I get it
Help me!
You know this really isn't funny
Come on out please
It's not funny any more
Seriously you got
Oh my god in heaven

It's October 31st
Could it get any worse
Children on the streets
Begging for treats

Drowning in a bucket
Of apples bobbing
Our parents are hiding
Our babies are sobbing

Undead have returned
And they're freaking us out
Dragging us down
So we shout

Help us
Help us
Save our souls
We're dying of fear
And they don't even know it

They think we've got it all
What we need is a team
To help us forget
Forget Hallowe'en

Fools
Fools
You think you can stop Hallowe'en
The world can't hear your useless pleas
It's too late
Our orange and black plague will soon consume them all
Then everyone will understand the true meaning of Hallowe'en
Pure terror
Yeah take that

We want candy
We want candy
We want candy
We want candy
We want candy
We want candy
We want candy
We want candy

We're all fed up
We've had enough
Enough
Enough
Enough
Enough
We're all fed up
We've had enough
Enough
Enough
Enough
Enough

Trick
Caramel apples that will make you sick
Treat
And all those sweets will rot your teeth
Ouija board
Ouija board
Spell this
We don't want you here no more

The writing's on the tombstone
Beneath the willow tree
No more razorblades
In our kid's candy

Dead dogs and broomsticks
Pumpkins in flames
We're ending this night
Ending the shame

Do they know it's Hallowe'en tonight
Do they know it's Hallowe'en tonight
Do they know
Do they know
Do they know
It's Hallowe'en
Do they know it's Hallowe'en
Hallowe'en tonight
Do they know it's Hallowe'en tonight
Do they know it's Hallowe'en tonight
Do they know it's Hallowe'en tonight
Do they know it's Hallowe'en tonight
Do they know it's Hallowe'en tonight
